How to Apply: International Undergraduate Applicants

The first big step of the application process and your post-secondary future is finding the perfect program for you!

Once you’ve found a program you’re interested in, check the Admission Requirements section on the program page to make sure you’re eligible to apply and will meet all of the prerequisites.

In addition to the individual program admission requirements, you must also make sure you meet the country-specific admission requirements, faculty requirements, and language requirements for your program.

Note: The Architectural Studies program also requires a portfolio and statement of interest. For more information, visit the Admission Requirements section of the program page.

Once you've decided on one or more programs, you must complete the International Application form and pay the associated fees.

Once your application is reviewed, a decision letter will be posted in the myLaurentian Portal in the Documents folder. This letter will tell you whether you received an offer of admission. Read the offer carefully, as you might receive a conditional offer or an alternate offer.

To accept your offer, log in to the myLaurentian Portal.

To reserve your place in your chosen program and receive your Letter of Acceptance (LOA), submit the tuition deposit as outlined in your Offer of Admission. Read the tuition deposit policy.

A study permit is an immigration document that gives you status and permits you to live and study in Canada. You must have a study permit if your program or course of study takes more than 6 months to complete.

Note: You must have a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from the university to apply for a study permit. The LOA will be published once you have confirmed your acceptance and paid your tuition deposit.

If you received a conditional offer, read your offer letter carefully and be sure to meet all of the conditions and submit all necessary documents by the deadlines indicated on page two, or your offer will be rescinded.

Some of the documents you may be required to submit include:

• Official transcripts
• Course descriptions for advanced standing
• Language proficiency test scores
